Incredible garbage! I barely used it 10 times for 20 minutes each time, intermittently and not continuously (which still doesn't justify it), and it stopped working?! What happened was damage to one of the two carbon brushes it has in the motor, and the ridiculous thing is that Gardena doesn't sell the carbon brushes as spare parts, but motor sets with carbon brushes. I didn't even ask how much the set costs, since I will repair the carbon brushes myself with a patent. If you have handy hands and know about simple electrical repairs, go for it, otherwise, it is a complete disappointment for the average user.
